Executive Playbook To Remake Education

With legislative routes blocked, an administration can use Department of Education rulemaking, Title VI enforcement, interagency initiatives, and grant conditions to change how colleges and K–12 schools handle free speech, antisemitic harassment, racial preferences beyond admissions, and religious opt‑outs. Those moves require notice‑and‑comment rules, targeted investigations, and revised grant terms rather than new laws. — If implemented, these executive steps would substantially shift power over campus governance and civil‑rights enforcement from legislatures and courts to agency policy, altering litigation, campus politics, and who bears the burden of enforcement.
